4. SONEXIS PRE-IMPLEMENTATION SITE REQUIREMENTS
TDM Systems (T1 and/or PRI connections):
Direct TELCO connection:
1. Order the necessary T1/CAS or T1/PRI circuits.
2. Obtain a CSU/DSU (Channel Service Unit/Data Service Unit).
Sonexis ConferenceManager supports the following protocols, tell your provider you need a circuit
configuration that matches one of the types below:
• CAS - Frame Type: ESF/B8ZS or D4/AMI
(E&M WINK ONLY)
• PRI - Frame Type: ESF/B8ZS or D4/AMI
Switch Types: ATT 4ESS, ATT 5ESS, DMS100, DMS250, and NI2
NO support for Shared D-channels across multiple PRIs (NFAS)
Behind the PBX: (Your PBX T1 card must provide “clock” to our system.)
• CAS - Frame Type: ESF/B8ZS or D4/AMI
• PRI - Frame Type: ESF/B8ZS or D4/AMI
Switch Types: ATT 4ESS, ATT 5ESS, DMS100, DMS250, and NI2
(Sonexis ConferenceManager can be either network- or client- side.)
DialPlan- Configure the dial plan on the PBX to route calls to the Sonexis. Normally this
includes associating an extension and DID with the trunk group (be it T1, PRI or VOIP).
General Notes:
1. Customer must provide T1 straight through or crossover cable(s) to connect Sonexis
ConferenceManager to the PBX. Cable lengths in excess of 133 feet require a CSU/DSU.
2. Sonexis ConferenceManager only supports E&M Wink on CAS circuits and requires a minimum
Wink duration of 200 milliseconds.
3. Sonexis ConferenceManager DOES NOT support:
a. Shared D-channels across multiple PRIs (NFAS); or
b. QSIG (Q Signaling).
STAR Performance Kit – Pre-Implementation Site Requirements (05-28-09).Doc Page 1 of 3
5. VOIP systems:
General VOIP considerations:
The Sonexis transmits 20ms RTP audio via G711. We support DSCP priority tagging, expedited
forwarding.
H.323
Sonexis ConferenceManager supports the standard implementation of H.323., We support ‘fast start’
and DTMF via “user information” messages.
SIP
Sonexis ConferenceManager supports the standard implementation of SIP. We support DTMF via
“SIP INFO” and “RFC2833”. DTMF payload type is configurable 96-105
Bandwidth notation: Sonexis ConferenceManager currently supports G711 which utilizes about 90
kpbs per call in each direction, or 180 kbps total per caller.
Network Configuration:
1. IP Addresses—Sonexis ConferenceManager requires a static IP address. (A customer-specified,
friendly HOST name is strongly recommended.) Configure your Domain Name Server (DNS) so
that your network uses the same domain name whether Sonexis Conference Manager is accessed
from inside or outside your network. This is required to ensure that ConferenceManager’s
automatic email invitations will contain the correct URL for Web conferences. In addition, Sonexis
ConferenceManager will likely require a public IP address for access outside your local area
network. This public IP address can be assigned directly to the Sonexis ConferenceManager; or
you may use 1-to-1 Network Address Translation (NAT) via a firewall or router.
2. Operating System Updates—DNS should be configured so that your Sonexis ConferenceManager
can connect to Microsoft for updates using the operating system’s “Automatic Updates” utility.
Updates should be downloaded automatically and set to “notify me when downloads are ready to
install.” Since some updates require a system restart, it is strongly recommended that this
operation is performed during non-business hours.
STAR Performance Kit – Pre-Implementation Site Requirements (05-28-09).Doc Page 2 of 3
6. 3. Network Topology—Determine where the Sonexis ConferenceManager will reside within your
network topology (i.e., behind the firewall or in a DMZ), keeping in mind the security ramifications
of each configuration.
4. Firewall Port Configuration—Sonexis ConferenceManager requires the following firewall port
configuration:
a. Port 80: Provides Web access to the system.
b. Port 8097: Provides administrative interface access.
c. Port 9000, 9001-900x: Provides improved performance (optional). If this feature is
enabled, a number of ports (in the 9001-900x range) equal to the
anticipated number of simultaneous web conferences must be
opened. For example, ten simultaneous web conferences would
require ports 9000 and 9001-9010.
5. SSL—To use Sonexis ConferenceManager over the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), obtain a security
certificate prior to installation. The certificate can be generated internally or obtained from a
certificate provider (e.g., VeriSign). SSL requires access on port 443. Port 80 should be closed.
(Port 8097 will still be required for access to the administrative interface.)
6. Automatic Email Invitations—Sonexis ConferenceManager can automatically send email
invitations to participants when conferences are scheduled. This functionality requires the
specification of an SMTP mail gateway. Alternatively, the SMTP server on the Sonexis
ConferenceManager can be enabled and configured to send mail directly from the server.
7. Virus Protection—A high quality antivirus program should be installed on the Sonexis
ConferenceManager. Virus definitions should be updated regularly. The following directories
should be excluded from the AV realtime scan: C:sonexis and C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL
ServerMSSQLData
Important Note: Please read this document carefully. Contact your PBX manufacturer or support
provider to obtain all of the required components for integration with the Sonexis ConferenceManager
prior to your scheduled installation date. Sonexis representatives will not configure your PBX.
